gollark: Your config can be a programming language too, since it's useful for specifying some things without having to repeat yourself, but it should be separate from the code.
gollark: Application code is stuff which should be the same across deployments. Config is stuff which shouldn't.
gollark: Then your application is wrong.
gollark: * specify, not design
gollark: ```rust let with_db = warp::any().map(move || pool.clone()); let static_files = warp::path("assets").and(warp::fs::dir("assets")); let view_page = warp::path!(String).and(warp::get()).and(with_db.clone()) // repeating the next bit for every route is kind of bad, see if it can be changed somehow .and_then(|title, db| async { error_to_http_response(view_page(db, title).await) }); let editor_page = warp::path!(String / "edit").and(warp::get()).and(with_db.clone()) .and_then(|title, db| async { error_to_http_response(editor_page(db, title).await) }); let save_edit = warp::path!(String / "edit").and(warp::post()).and(warp::body::form()).and(with_db) .and_then(|title, form, db| async { error_to_http_response(save_edit(db, title, form).await) }); let not_found = warp::any().map(|| warp::reply::with_status("404 Not Found", http::StatusCode::NOT_FOUND)); let main = editor_page.or(save_edit).or(view_page); let app = static_files.or(main).or(not_found);```See, this is how you SHOULD design routes: incomprehensibly.
